Perinatal stroke, a significant risk for newborns, can lead to lifelong neurological issues. Early identification and understanding of risk factors are crucial for managing this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pediatrics
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • The perinatal period, encompassing days before and after birth, presents a critical window of risk for both maternal and infant stroke.
  • Arterial ischemic stroke affects approximately 1 in 4000 full-term infants, often presenting with neonatal seizures or neurological signs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the current understanding of perinatal stroke, including its presentation, risk factors, and consequences.
  • To highlight the knowledge gaps in the natural history, prevention, and treatment of perinatal stroke.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on perinatal stroke.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations and recognized risk factors.

Main Results:

  • Perinatal stroke is a recognized cause of neonatal seizures and can be diagnosed retrospectively through hemiparesis or later-onset seizures.
  • Hereditary/acquired thrombophilias and environmental factors are identified risk factors.
  • Perinatal stroke is a significant contributor to congenital hemiplegic cerebral palsy and potentially other neurological disorders.

Conclusions:

  • Perinatal stroke is a serious condition with significant long-term neurological implications for affected infants.
  • Further research is essential to elucidate the natural history and develop evidence-based strategies for prevention and treatment.
